Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has dodged a major bullet.

Jim Harbaugh said the X-rays on Herbert’s injured finger came back negative. He said that Herbert should be “good to go” moving forward.

Harbaugh said after the game that Hebert could have fractured his left middle finger. Fortunately for the Chargers and Herbert, that is not the case.

"The imaging came back negative, so he should be good to go … that's the amount of information that I have,” Harbaugh said.

Herbert left the game in the fourth quarter against the Texans. The game was already out of hand when the injury occurred. The Bolts lost the contest, 44-22.

The Chargers are the only winless team in the NFL.

Herbert threw for 193 yards and completed 13 of 23 passes, with one touchdown

and one interception. He has thrown at least one interception in every game this season.

The Chargers will continue to rely on Herbert despite their 0-8 start. Los Angeles will seek its first win of the season against the Ravens in what will be its first primetime game.
